The nationwide No Kings protest saw the residents of Culver City meet the moment, with thousands gathered at City Hall from about 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 28. It was scheduled to end at about 12:30 p.m., but it carried on for much longer.
The event passed without serious incident. Beforehand, the Culver City Police Department released a statement today that, “The Culver City Police Department is aware that a demonstration is planned in our city on Saturday, March 28. We respect and support everyone’s First Amendment right to peacefully protest, and we are committed to protecting both that right and the safety of our entire community. CCPD has implemented an enhanced staffing plan with increased officer presence. Officers are prepared to respond quickly if needed. We are coordinating with regional law enforcement partners and closely monitoring events. Violence, vandalism, or other criminal activity will not be tolerated.”
Later, they said that, “Traffic congestion on Culver Boulevard from Duquesne Avenue to Lafayette Place. Please take an alternate route to avoid traffic delays. We respect and support everyone’s First Amendment right to peacefully protest, and we are committed to protecting both that right and the safety of our entire community. CCPD has implemented an enhanced staffing plan and is prepared to ensure the safety of all during demonstrations today. Officers are prepared to respond quickly if needed. We are coordinating with regional law enforcement partners and closely monitoring events. Violence, vandalism, or other criminal activity will not be tolerated. See something, say something. If you observe suspicious or criminal activity, please report it to CCPD immediately.”
Besides some congestion though, again, there were no reports of real damage or escalations of violence in Culver City.
Yahoo News reported that more than 8 million people turned out at over 3,300 “No Kings” protests across all 50 states on Saturday, with organizers calling it the “largest single-day demonstration in U.S. history. The first two rounds, in June and October 2025, drew an estimated 5 million and 7 million, respectively. Independent verification of the figures was not immediately available.”
